Senate Awards

The Ventura College Academic Senate bestows four awards in the spring of each academic year. These are awards given by faculty and to faculty in the following four areas: Service to Students, Service to Faculty, Service to College and Service to Community. Unfortuantely, the Senate records are incomplete. Here is the most up-to-date list of past awardees:

Ventura College Academic Senate President Award for Merit

The awarding of the Ventura College Academic Senate President Award for Merit is determined solely by the Academic Senate President and may be awarded to any individual regardless of position/classification/site location within the District. With the approval of the VC Academic Senate Standard Operating Procedures in 2013, this award was established.
